Advantages TPE

Breidenbach specialises in processing soft plastics, such as soft PVC and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) in particular.

Thermoplastic Elastomers are materials that have the unique properties of elastomers, but behave like thermoplastics in injection moulds, giving you the best of both worlds.

Combining different elastomers with different thermoplastics result in countless varieties with various properties.

Replacing rubber with TPEWith the right knowledge of materials, we can replace rubber products with TPE. Read more on how and why here.

2-component injection mouldingThe special thing about thermoplastic elastomers is that they can be connected to other thermoplastics. We can connect 2 types of material within one mould, making the process fully automated with an optimal adhesion.

More with TPEResearch done by material producers is expanding the possibilities that TPE has to offer more and more. That way, TPE is made suitable for fire-resistant applications (link to Fire-resistant) or made ESD-safe for electric uses. (link)
